Just wanted to let you know what I've been up to during my downtime from Radiohead.

My second solo album, "Weatherhouse" will be released on October 6th. I recorded this album from late January 2013 until late January this year with Adem Ilhan and Quinta. I loved every moment of it. Here is the first track from the record, 'Coming Up For Air':

Also, this weekend, I begin a run of shows with Rambert Dance Company at their new home on the Southbank in London. Again working with Adem Ilhan and Quinta, we've written the score for a series of Merce Cunningham Events, set against the backdrop of Gerhard Richter's "Cage" paintings. The performances take place over the next three Saturdays: 28th June, 5th July and 12th July.

Just wanted to let you know about a benefit show in my hometown, Oxford, that I'm involved with. Its called Childish Things, and takes place on Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th March at The New Theatre. It is a mixture of music and comedy and raises much needed funds for Helen and Douglas House, a hospice in Oxford for children and young adults. Over the past decade, I've had many brilliant nights at Childish Things, both as a performer and part of the audience. This year will be particularly special, as it's the tenth anniversary of the event, and also the last set of shows. Here's some more information about this year's line up, buying tickets and Helen and Douglas House itself:
